“Where did you say the car was again?” Henry bellowed from the door.Olivia was in the living room, preparing herself to take Henry to the place where her car had broken down. He had promised to call a tolling company the next morning after they had a deep conversation the previous day. She had confessed to meeting Liam and everything that happened between them. She had also informed him about her stalker and how Liam wanted to be present in the child's life.Henry had scolded her for having sexual relationship with a married man, and of course, became over protective of her when she told him about the rogue. He made her promise to buy a new car, one that wouldn't disappoint when she was in danger.Henry didn't say anything about Liam's interest in being in the baby's life. He said he didn't want to be in the middle of their cross fire.Olivia sighed aloud, tired of everything happening in her life, before responding to Henry. “It's just down the road, the lonely path surrounde
Olivia stared at the lady for a very long time. She could see the striking resemblance between Liam and her. She was beautiful, maybe too beautiful for someone her age. Being a werewolf is like a dream come through for the female gender, they rarely ever age, and they have enhanced features that make them look younger. “Mum, what are you doing here?” Liam exclaimed at his mother, who narrowed her eyes at him. “What do you mean by that?” She scowled. “I meant I wasn't expecting you to arrive today” Liam explained further. Yes, he expected his parents' arrival in his pack, what he didn't expect was for them to show up so soon. It was just over a week ago when they had offered to help with pack responsibilities due to Valerie's pregnancy. Their arrival was quite fast and unexpected. “Is that why you decided to bring in females into the pack house despite having a wife?” His mother glanced at Olivia, her insinuation lingering in the air. Olivia found her words insulting, and
Liam was gripped with dread at her outburst. He gaped at her with his mouth wide open, unable to close them as he was in shock. He didn't know what came over her. He had thought she was okay with not being marked. They had been married for four good months and she had never raised the subject. So her motive for bringing this up needed to be fixated on.He had not marked her because he just couldn't. They had gotten married, she was his luna, but if he marks her then their soul becomes bound, she becomes his true luna and if she ever betrays him then it could be the end of him. Though his excuse of it not being the right time was feasible in some sense. However, the major reason Liam had not marked her was because he didn't trust her. His marriage happened so fast, her pregnancy followed suit, it was as if his life was in a rush when they had a whole eternity to look forward to.“Mark me, Liam” Valerie proclaimed, suddenly having enough strength to leave the wall and stride acr
It was a soothing night. The atmosphere was peaceful and serene. Tranquility enveloped everywhere, and the night sky had a subtle glow to add to it. The stars were scattered around the sky, each one twinkling like a diamond. The full moon, a silver crescent, casted a gentle glow over the clear field like it was in tune with the pack's mind. The wind whispered softly, the leaves around the pack rustled in response to it. Standing on the podium of the field was Liam, with a knife in his hand in preparation for the Luna's claiming. The Luna's claiming was an old pack tradition. It was a ritual organized by elders of the pack to formally recognize and accept the Luna as his mate and pack's Alpha female. The ceremony would mark the beginning of their bond and solidify their position as the pack leaders. Liam was dreadful of it. He had been forced to agree to her demands, even though he didn't trust her enough to mark her. She had threatened to leave him, blackmailed him successfully
“See you in court, Olivia” Olivia couldn't get the sound of his voice out of her head. She was pissed and stunned at the same time, if that was possible. She knew she could not dream of winning a legal battle against Liam, not to talk of the bills of paying for a lawyer to defend her case.It was a lost battle. One she better not take up. She never knew Liam could be so cruel. He was filing for full custody of her baby because she declined his request for co-parenting. It sounds appalling to the ear, and definitely unheard of.She was in a dilemma, and was unsure about her next move.Olivia stared out the window of the moving vehicle, as the car drove her away from his pack. The gentle breeze blowing soothed her aching heart, and she found herself craving for more of it.“I'll drop here,” She announced to the cab driver.The vehicle stopped by the side of the road and she stepped out of it, walking aimlessly to no specific destination.She just needed some alone time to thi
“Nice to meet you Olivia”' Elijah muttered, her name rolling off his tongue perfectly. He had a jewish accent underneath his almost exquisite pronunciation that one would have to focus hard to notice, piquing her curiosity about his origin.Olivia swallowed hard this time around, in a bid to avoid another embarrassing stammer. “Nice to meet you too,” She responded. They sat in comfortable silence after that. The humming of the birds in the garden vibrating through the stillness. It was a wonderful distraction that reduced the awkwardness of the quiet stretch of time.When he cleared his throat out of nowhere, her gaze shifted from staring at the pond and back to him.“You shouldn't be out here” he stated.“What do you mean?” Olivia asked, confused.“I meant, you shouldn't be engaging in too much strenuous activity when you are close to delivery” Elijah commented, staring pointedly at her belly.Olivia turned away from him, flushing in shame. Sometimes, she always forgot that eve
“He's here” Kelvin's voice in Liam's mind woke him up from his rest.He had barely slept for a few hours since he had been so busy with pack business and the murder investigation that was still yet to have a conclusion. He was also at a dead end in the investigation of Olivia's stalker. He had left the whole thing and gone to bed after the pack hunt the night before. Valerie and him had also taken their relationship to the next level. It wasn't their first time making love, that's quite clear from her pregnancy. But this one was different, she was now marked. Hence, their first love making after her Luna's claiming. He just found something quite weird. He could now feel all her emotions during their love making, and it was filled with dissatisfaction. He felt her desire for something more violent, and adventurous. Whereas, Liam was a slow burn kind of guy.He hadn't been noticing her disinterest in their sex life ever since they got married. Now that he had, he was beginning
“You can leave us” Elijah commanded the forensic worker that accompanied them into the morgue. He removed the piece of clothing covering the face of the corpses, and scrutinized their bodies intently.Liam stood beside him, observing his every action while peering into the bite marks to see if anything was out of place.“See this?” Elijah pointed to a point on the neck of the corpse.“Yes” Liam replied, gazing at the mark Elijah was pointing at.“See the bite” Elijah swiped his glove-covered hands on the dried mark, stretching the skin to look inward.“Compare it to this” He brought out the picture that contained the mayor's corpse, showing it to him.Liam leaned closer to him, examining his speculation carefully. He didn't see anything out of place, they both looked like it was done by a professional. “It's the same person?” Liam voiced out his thoughts, though he was not sure if that was what Elijah wanted to hear.“Exactly” Elijah uttered as he rose from his crouched positi
